These are the given values:
30 year old non pregnant female, 5'4", 134 lbs.
Resting state - NOT scared of being at Dr. office
Heart rate = 70 bpm
Stroke volume = 80 mL
Diastolic Pressure = 100 mmHg
Peripheral resistance = 20
With all this information, I need to find:
Cardiac output,
Mean arterial pressure,
Pulse pressure,
Systolic pressure,
and What is her blood pressure, and should she be concerned

Cardiac output = heart rate x stroke volume
= 5.6 L/min

Mean arterial pressure = cardiac output x peripheral resistance
= 5.6 x 20 = 112mmHg

Mean arterial pressure = Diastolic pressure + 1/3 (Systolic - Diastolic pressure)
112 = 100 + 1/3 (Systolic pressure - 100)
12 = 1/3 (sys -100)
12 + 100/3 = sys / 3
136 mmHg = Systolic pressure

Pulse pressure = Systolic - diastolic pressure
= 36 mmHg

Recomened normal BP is less than 140/90
